For the Girls

If you've ever been a bridesmaid, you will appreciate these...

Actually makes me feel a little better about some of the horrors I've had to wear.

Ugly Dresses (http://uglydress.com/)

Those are pretty funny--I've only been in a couple of weddings, but the dresses were never that bad. The year after my cousin's wedding, in which I wore a mint-green satin dress, I reused it that year for Halloween. I crimped my hair, wore lace anklets with the matching mint-green satin pumps, put a black denim jacket over the whole thing, and chewed gum all day. My co-workers thought my "prom date from hell" costume was a hoot.

One of my friends has SIX pink bridesmaid dresses and they all look like shit!!!

PINK shit? Your friend should really get that checked out.

Notice the cleavage....

Are they built for speed or comfort? What'd you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat?

:rolleyes:

Thank goodness 1) I've never been a bridesmaid, 2) the idea of having bridesmaids isn't very widespread here in the first place...

You know, it's not the problem of having bridesmaids, it's this subconscious bride mentality that the only way to be beautiful on your wedding day is to be standing next to a bunch of hags in ugly dresses. It's just painful.

What's worse is when you are a groomsman (I was, twice in one year :rolleyes: ) and you are paired off with some scuzzy bitch you've never seen before, or ever will see again, acting like she thinks you want to hit on her.

:rolleyes:

In the procession out the front of the chapel, as soon as we unlocked arms, we went in totally opposite directions. :lol:

I never got the idea that bridemaids should wear the same dress. All girls know that a dress can be gorgeous on someone, and completly hideous on another. :dunno:

Neither I got the idea that bridemaid dresses have to be those horrible loud colors. Nobody would wear those colors in the day to day life, why for weddings. :eek:

Actually, I once went to a wedding in which the bride merely chose a color (royal blue) and the bridesmaids were allowed to select their own style of outfit. One had a knee-length dress, one had a flowing pantsuit (she was pregnant), and one had a more traditional full-length gown. They all looked lovely, and I've always thought that was a great idea.

[Monic]

That's a better idea, indeed. Although, if not choose carefully, a specific color can look aweful on someone.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Then, there are those colors that look awful on everyone.

Wear Fuschia: Go To Jail. :angry

[neglet]

Hey, I actually look really good in fuschia. Jewel tones set off my dark hair, don'tcha know.

Okay, okay. We'll make you the exception. :)

But just this one color. :angry

But either way, NO WHITE SHOES AFTER LABOR DAY. :romy:

I don't care what Kathleen Turner said in "Serial Mom," if Stacy and Clinton say white shoes are okay, that's good enough for me.

But of course I wouldn't wear white shoes with fuschia!:D

Why is it that everytime I look at the title of this thread I'm reminded of the great quote from Peter O'Toole in "My Favorite Year"?

After he walks into the women's restroom.

Irrate Women: You can't be in here! This is for women only!

O'Toole: (unzips his pants) Madam, this also is for women, but every now and then I need to run a little water through it.
